CENTRAL OREGON MARKET REPORT - APRIL 19, 2023

 
 

It feels like everyone is just waiting for the warmer weather to hit so that they can jump into their next season plans! The housing market is just starting to warm up for the Spring, with an increased number of buyers starting their search and sellers reaching out to me with inquiries on their properties. This feels like a great time for sellers who were previously impacted by rising mortgage rates last year to reanalyze if it makes sense to make a move on their plans this go around. Mortgage application activity has been increasing as rates have been declining, so motivated buyers are still out there and looking.

 

If you are a seller, right now is the time I recommend my clients to start the prep work needed to to maximize your sale; Yard work, painting, fix ups and lining up help before the busy season hits. This is so important to keep your timeline on track and showcase your property in the best way possible. Lastly, make sure to reach out for some expert insight. We have seen drastic changes in the market over the last year and it is more important than ever to connect with a professional that can shed light on what's working, not working and provide current data to support their findings. This is a free invitation to anyone in my circle to reach out to me direct. I would love to help set you up for success this Spring/Summer!

The spring season appears to be warming up in housing as more and more buyers enter the market. And after rising mortgage rates sidelined so many buyers last year, that’s a good sign for sellers.
